The point being since many of you missed it is that it's a bit disconcerning they are 0-4 and -35 million when it comes to the biggest decisions an owner can make. Since ya know them making the right decisions in respect to GMs and coaches is are only hope as fans. They aren't off to a rousing start.

I will be forever grateful for the Pegulas and believe their hearts are in the right place.

But they are a lot more clueless at running pro sports teams than I ever wanted to admit.

But they are very smart people, and they want to win. In Buffalo! I'm good so far. There is a learning curve.

Agree 100%. But man, it's been a frustrating few months.

 

But totally agree Buffalo fans are extremely lucky to have them.

It's been frustrating/curious, but I do love the draft. That makes me even more hopeful. Fingers crossed!

Terry will drill another hole and make that in 1 day

i think the point is the pegulas are making bad business decisions when it comes to sports. I'm sure nobody is worried that pegula will go broke, and it's nice to not worry about wasting $35mm, but it's hardly a good thing. It's bad business, even if he can afford it.

Ya don't say? Look , most of us fans are aware that their first hires weren't exactly great choices. I sure hope they get / got them right this time. That said, I'd rather have owners that can see their mistake and try to correct it without worrying about eating the money. Keeping Rex for another year would have been a terrible move. Whaley probably should have went with him.

Entrepreneurs and business leaders call this "the cost of doing business." Sometimes unfortunate costs come with the territory.

 

Terry mentioned that all teams have dead money. Whether it's for ex-players, or ex-coaches, or whoever - if you run a major sports franchises you're going to end up having to pay people who longer work for you. It's the nature of the beast.

 

Eventually - I hope - they'll find a coach and GM combo they like (i.e. who win) and they'll hold onto them.
